It was right there for the taking. Or the shaking, if you will. The Sixers, the fans, the organization — so close to shedding the dead weight of Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala’s contracts — and Ed Stefanski let it get away.
There is no guarantee the deal was in place and that [...]
On Monday, Ed Stefanski will have a press conference and introduce Eddie Jordan as the new Sixers head coach. And, as with most things Sixers related, the hiring of Eddie Jordan will be greeted by a collective yawn from Philly sports fans.

Then they held serve in their first home game for the second win. But when it came down to gut check time, this Sixers team showed exactly why they dropped six [...]

The time between the end of the NCAA Tournament and the beginning of the NBA playoffs has felt longer than usual, but maybe that is because I cannot remember an NBA postseason that had more riveting subplots.

Of all the intriquing storylines and subplots of the 2005-2006 season, one has stood out. In a two-month span of time that has seen Kobe Bryant score sixty-two points in three quarters, the Detriot Pistons mentioned in the same sentence as the 95-96 Bulls, a shifting in the balance of power from the Western Conference [...]

People talk too much. People talk too much about the wrong things. People wrongly anoint young talented, yet unproven, stars as the greatest of all time. People smear Michael Jordan’s legacy as if it were a can of finger paint and the new age NBA is a fresh canvas. People talk about Steve [...]
